The show is based on the upcoming debut novel from author, science editor and copywriter Bonnie Garmus. The book will be published in Spring 2022 by Doubleday.
The plot is set in the early 1960s and it follows Elizabeth Zott (Larson), whose dream of being a scientist is put on hold in a society deeming that women belong in the domestic sphere, not the professional one. When Elizabeth finds herself pregnant, alone and fired from her lab, she musters the ingenuity only a single mother has. She accepts a job as a host on a TV cooking show, and sets out to teach a nation of overlooked housewives — and the men who are suddenly listening — a lot more than recipes … all the while craving a return to her true love: science.
Michael Costigan and Jason Bateman will executive produce alongside Larson and Grant.
Larson is also attached as the star/executive producer of another Apple drama, an untitled female-focused CIA drama based on Amaryrillis Fox's memoir, which received a straight-to-series order in March 2019 and is currently on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic.
